Cos, Of Drilling . Go. Well.

The cost OF drilling gas well Is stated
to be about the same a. that Of an oil well
under the same conditions. It varies
usually from S3, 800 to $1,000, according
to the depth. Where the productive
measures are nearer the surface, the cost
is materially less. The method pursued
is the same in both cases. A derrick Is
first set up on the intended site OF the
well, and wrought iron pipe driven
through the soft earth until 1t reaches
the solid rock, usually at depth OF sixty
to 100 feet.
The weight Of the drills with the at
tached "jars" is 5000 to 1000 pounds.
These rise and fall four or i've feet, and
are constantly rotated, SO as to bring the
bit into contact with the entire circuMfer-
| ence Of the drilling.
For depth Of 500 feet the hole is bored
eight inches in diameter, and Is cased
with five and five eighths piping. Beyond
this depth the hole is continued with q
diameter of six inches until gas Is reached
or the well abandoned. A casing OF fou'
| inch piping is used for this lower portion
Under ordinary circumstances about fifty
days are required for the drilling. g.-Bostor

II seems to be proven fact that water
can be so treated by the fumes OF burning
sulphur as to knl every spore, and then In
the water thus purified fruit can be kept
for a great length of time. This method
was exhibited and explained at late
fair In the Mechanics building, Boston.
This, if it is fully proven tact, goes Tar
toward supporting the theory that all
putrefactive processes are occasioned by
the termination Of spores. However this
may be. the fact remains that anything
which can putrefy contains and will de
velop microbes. Journal OF Health.

What is che Trut Ideal o: Lif.ss

-
In this country we are lahoring with
great zeal ana vast pecuniary resources
to promote the cause OF culture. We
educate, educate, educate, rs some
body once said we ought to do; but
whether the result is to produce much
that can be called culture in any high
sense is a open question. A criterion
msg, perhaps, be fe md in a compare
sen of the rising with the now adult
generation. Are our young people
showing grace of mind and character
in more abundant measure than their
parents? Are their aims higher? Is
their language better?- Are their in
tellectual occupations more s~eriousr
Are their manners gentler and more
retinedP We do not propose to an
answer these questions dogmatieally:
but this we say, that, unless there has
been an improvement in these several
respects, a vast amount of educational
effort has not net its full reward.
Speaking broadly, it seems to us that
the culture of our educated classes, or
of the classes supposed to be educated,
leaves much to be desired, and we are
disposed to think that one reason of
this is that we have conceived of edu-
cation in too purely an intellectual
sense. We have thought more of
sharpening the thinking faculties than
of liberalizing the sentiments or soft
ening tho We have intro
duced too much rivalry into education.
and represented education too much
as a preparation for further rivalry in
after-life. We have impaired knowl-
edge, but have only to a very moderate
extent succeeded in intoxicating wis
dom; and knowledge without wisdom
seems poor, thin. and sometimes even
meaningless. We need, as. it seems to
us, to devote more consideration than
we have hitherto done to the the ques-
ton, What is the true ideal of human
lifeP Ii we can fix upon tie true ideal,
we can proceed TO educate toward
that, and our work will then he direct
cd toward something that is an end in
itself. The knowledge we inlpart will
be held by a different tenure, and APP
piled in a different spirit. What each
one knows will be his or her egnip-
ment toward a wortAier f~ulfillment of
social duties, a wortlier realization of
what is best in himself or herself, and
not a mere stock-in-trade for the pro-
curing of personal gratiticatious.-Ed-

The other day the coffee-room of the
Burlington furnished an example of
the necessity for extreme caution on
the part of unprotected bachelors at
this time of the year. A gentleman of
this persuasion sat down at one of the
tables and ordered a substantial break

spooks Mt Red Tor.

There seems to be a great deal Of
trouble in keeping servants at Red Top.
The fierce winds of March drive the
president and his family from their
country residence, because they found
the alterations in the house had been
made for the soft zephyrs OF summer,
and not for the March gales. Soon
after they left the steward of the White
House, who has charge of the servants
also at Red Top. got notice from the
domestics employed there that they
would like to leave. He tried others,
but they. too. left, and after wondering
what the cause was he found that the
olored people employed were afraid
to stay there. They were superstitious.
The bowling winds had made the win
dows rattle and whistIed through the
woodwork of the house. Stories got
abroad that tsspooks' were there.
Then some said that an old man had
died in the house, and his ghost was re.
visiting it. This was enough for the
coiored servants, and forthwith thew
